Per the description of the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack at HasbroToyShop, Salacious Crumb and the Mouse Droid are given their own numbers VC66 and VC67 respectively. Which means if you’re a MOC collector (or have OCD) and you don’t get this set (or at least these two carded figures), you won’t have a complete carded Vintage set.
HasbroToyShop Has Its Revenge on Collectors
As you are probably painfully aware by now, HasbroToyShop this morning placed the SDCC exclusives up for sale on their site, including the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack. Needless to say, the site couldn’t handle the rush of traffic to order this and the other exclusives, forcing many to miss out on this highly sought after piece. Couple this latest snafu with the frustration collectors are having finding new product in general and you have the perfect storm for breaking the Tauntaun’s back. Collectors in forums and Facebook and Twitter are voicing their disgust. Let’s hope that Hasbro and HasbroToyShop gets the message (1-800-224-4438).
